IAIS SD38-2 #151, SD38-2 #155 (Ex.LLPX)and GP38-2 #711 Leads the CBBI thundering over the diamonds with an ethanol unit train and one lone aggregate hopper on the old Rock Island line over the BNSF, CN and UP diamonds. SEE MY OTHER VIDEOS!!

Thanks. It was even louder in person!

how busy is the train traffic there. I guess that it is very busy there. Just wondering.

[BoxcarFrank]

Depends which line you are talking about. There is a 2 track main BNSF, a CN, a UP and the old Rock Island line that you see this train on, The old RI sees about 15 Metras A day and usually 3 freight trains. BNSF is very busy with mostly intermodal. 10 Amtrak trains a day come on the CN and UP a day. The UP sees long coal trains interchanging with the EJ&E and the CN sees local traffic. Hope this explains

But your freight trains are a lot more faster for that reason!
